Facebook’s latest attempt to organize news feed for its users resulted in rolling out of a new feature for its web interface – Pop up conversations chat tab.
The new dialog-tab threads comment replies into a new pop-up window. It is just like separate conversation tabs used for chatting under Facebook Messenger when News Feed is open.
So, is Facebook desperately trying to unravel an issue? I guess not! Facebook offers a solution to this. It allows users to turn off or disable the Facebook Pop up conversations tab feature via a simple setting. But before covering that, let’s find what was so special about this feature.
The pop-up conversation tab feature is primarily a pop-up that appears on the Facebook post you’re following. So, it appears whenever there’s any new activity made like, a comment on the post. You do not have to click the notification to read. It is displayed instantly under the popup window. Though useful in granting instant access, it appears intrusive & irritating for many like me, since it ends up cluttering my Facebook space.

report this ad Facebook thinks it knows more than you. This applies not only to the automatic news feed, but also to notifications. For example, by default, Facebook shows notifications from groups - or about what happened on this day a year or several years ago.
Meduza tells you how to turn off unnecessary notifications.
To turn off notifications from unnecessary groups, you must first go to the settings: click on the line in the upper right corner → "Settings". Then select "Notifications" in the menu on the left and click on the link "On Facebook". On the page that opens, click "Edit" opposite the "Group news" item - and there set the desired notification mode for each group.
Facebook offers four options: All Posts, Friend Posts, Trending, and Off. Everything except the "Actual" option behaves predictably. With the unpredictable option enabled, you will receive notifications for posts in groups that Facebook deems relevant to you, so enable it only at your own risk - there is a high probability of disappointment.
For iOS: Click on the three bars from the main screen → "Settings" → "Account settings" → "Notifications". There you need to find the section "What notifications do you receive" and click "Group posts".
For each group, notifications are again configured separately.
For Android: Click on the three bars from the main screen → "Account settings" → "Notifications". Then - the same as on iOS.
The “This Day” service sends daily notifications about what happened to you on Facebook a year or several years ago. This could be your post or someone else's post you're tagged in. To turn off such notifications, you need to go to "Settings" → "Notifications" → "On Facebook" and select "Off" in the corresponding menu item. You can also turn off notifications on the On This Day page. In addition, there you can select dates that you do not want to remember.
If you have disabled "This Day" notifications on your computer, they won't work on your phone either.
If you leave a comment under someone's post, you will receive notifications for every comment that is written under yours. To avoid this, you need to click on the gray arrow in the upper left corner of the post and select "Turn on notifications about this post", then click on it again and select "Turn off notifications about this post".
After this, comment notifications will stop coming. However, for some reason this method does not always work.
For iOS: Click on the three bars from the main screen → Settings → “Account settings” → “Notifications” → “Mob. devices." The latest notifications will be shown there, you need to select the types of notifications that you do not want to receive. For example, comments after your comment.
For Android: Click on the three bars from the main screen → "Account settings" → "Notifications" → "Mobile devices". Then everything is the same as in iOS.
